Overview

The JBoss Modular Services Container (MSC) is essentially an advanced concurrent state machine. It dynamically analyzes the dependencies between all services and attempts to start as many as it can at the same time, while still adhering to the relationship requirements. MSC implements new algorithms for checking module and service dependencies at deploy and run time, such that only the services that are needed are loaded and started, and when no longer needed unloaded. This makes unnecessary "slimming" a configuration to get a minimal memory footprint and start time.

Modular class loading is at the core of MSC.

Application server functionality, such as messaging or handling HTTP requests, is implemented in extensions to the MSC core.
